The Association Between Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Multi-Ethnic Population of Premature Coronary Artery Disease Patients: Insights From IPAD Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a lipid-based indicator of cardiometabolic risk. We examined whether AIP is associated with prevalent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) in patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) and explored whether this association differed across Iranian ethnic groups.
methodsWe analysed 2143 patients with angiographically confirmed PCAD from the Iran Premature Coronary Artery Disease (IPAD) study, of whom 1945 had valid AIP data. CAD was defined as ≥ 50% stenosis in the left main artery or ≥ 75% stenosis in another major coronary vessel. AIP was calculated as log
resultsIn the fully adjusted model, including lipid-lowering medication use, participants in the highest AIP quartile had higher odds of prevalent T2DM than those in the lowest quartile (OR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.14, 2.16; p = 0.005; P for trend = 0.002). Each 1-unit increase in AIP was associated with higher odds of prevalent T2DM (OR: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.26, 3.14; p = 0.003). Higher AIP was also associated with higher FBS; compared with the lowest quartile, the highest quartile had a 15.23 mg/dL higher FBS level in the fully adjusted model (95% CI: 7.61, 22.84; p < 0.001). In exploratory ethnicity-stratified analyses, the association was most evident in the Fars subgroup, while estimates in several smaller ethnic groups were imprecise.
conclusionsHigher AIP was associated with prevalent T2DM and higher FBS in patients with PCAD. Exploratory analyses suggested possible ethnicity-related heterogeneity, but these subgroup findings should be interpreted cautiously. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether AIP has predictive or clinical risk-stratification value in this population.
